Sweet Potato Noodles with Lemongrass Satay Sauce

When it comes to eating out I am always very adventurous and insist on trying something new on the menu. That is, for every cuisine except Thai food. About two years ago I ordered satay noodles for the first time in a rundown Thai restaurant and was instantly in love. There was something so perfect about the coco-nutty peanut sauce mixed with some fresh vegetables and soft rice noodles. Since then, I haven’t been able to order anything else.

It was only a matter of time before I set about creating my own perfect satay sauce. Of course this was going to happen with a little less sugar and oil and a little more freshness from lemongrass, ginger and lime. To take this dish to another level, I decided to spiralise some sweet potatoes into noodles. If you haven’t experienced these noodles before you are in for a treat. Feel free to use regular rice noodles if you prefer (or don't have a spiraliser), or spiralise any other firm vegetable such as white potato or carrot.

Serve this meal to your nearest and dearest for a creamy and filling yet fresh and full-flavoured bowl of happiness!
